TIANJIN, July 26 (Xinhua) -- The research and development of the prototype of China's new-generation exascale supercomputer Tianhe-3 is complete, the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin announced Thursday.

Jointly developed by the National University of Defense Technology and the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin,the prototype passed the acceptance tests by the hi-tech center of the Ministry of Science and Technology on July 22.

The final version of Tianhe-3 will be operational by 2020, and will be 200 times faster and have 100 times more storage capacity than the Tianhe-1 supercomputer, China's first petaflop supercomputer launched in 2010, according to Liu Guangming, head of the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin.

"The new-generation exascale supercomputer is expected to become irreplaceable technology dealing with challenging problems in the fields of economy and science in China," Liu said.

The supercomputer located at the Tianjin center will be gradually open for application research, Liu added.

"A high-performance computer service platform integrating supercomputing, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence will be built on the basis of the Tianhe-3 supercomputer," said Meng Xiangfei, head of the center's applied research and development department.

"It will play an important role in meteorology, aviation, earthquake research, energy exploration, genetic engineering and handling of big data," Meng added.

China has launched a third prototype exascale computing machine, the next-generation supercomputer, according to the developer.

The Shuguang exascale computer is expected to be put into operation in national supercomputing centers in Shanghai and Shenzhen, said its developer Dawning Information Industry Co. Ltd.

An exascale computer is able to execute a quintillion calculations per second. In China, prototypes are being developed by three teams led by the National Research Center of Parallel Computer Engineering and Technology (NRCPC), Dawning Information Industry, and the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT).

With Shuguang's launch, the three developers have all launched prototype exascale computing machines, marking a further step toward China's successful development of the next-generation supercomputer.

"The launch of a prototype exascale computing machine helps researchers test and improve key technologies through trial and error, and clear obstacles for the final computing system," said Zhang Yunquan, a researcher with the Institute of Computing Technology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

this one is x1,000 times faster than the fastest one 10 years ago. that's the difference.
